Hey guys,
This happened right outside my house here in Atl. The scary part was that a friend of mine had left the house 1 hour before this happened. It could just as easily have been him getting robbed. A few other behind the scenes things:
The marine dude was an acquaitance of my roomate's. He told us that the two guys with guns had trouble getting them out or off and that's when the girl jumped on him, hitting him in the face. I guess he had the knife out by that point and he said he just started stabbing her. By that point she screamed and he ran up to our neighbors house yelling Help! When that didn't draw much attention he switched to yelling Fire and started banging on the neighbor's door. That is when my roomate heard all the commotion and went out on the porch. He said he saw what he thought was a dark Lincoln sedan speed off to the left. He saw the guy banging on the door and told him he was calling 911. It took them AT LEAST 12 minutes to respond to the scene. It was probably more like 15 minutes. Not to mention he called 3 different times. My roomate has the phone records to prove it. By this point Autry was on the phone with his g/f telling her to come pick him up. She came and he got in the car and they drove about a block away. A few minutes later the first cop showed up. It's not like the area is lightly patrolled either. I see cops down there all the time. I know that the neighborhood is kind of a buffer zone between the good and bad parts of town, but damn, the robbers were only kids. It's not like they were hardened criminals, they just needed a good older brother to give them an a$$-whooping here and there.
